My DD is going through a tough time since Dec start. First she had cold and runny nose, fever once or twice but under 102F/39C. Following week she had some sort of infection on her tongue tip and her food quantity dropped drastically almost to 10 to 20% that too after much persuasion. We gave her Aloclair liquid to gargle. This helped a lot to cure the infection within 3 days. Her food quantity increased little bit. Her runny nose was still continuing but less.
But the following week, 3rd week, she got cold and fever again. Most of the time the temperature remain 101 to 102F/39C, couple of times it shot upto 40C too. She almost stopped taking food.
When we contacted the GP he suggested antibiotics(Amoxicillin) for 5 days. The temperature was regulated properly and didn't had fever. On the 3rd day on AB there was little improvement. She started taking food again, though little amount. The runny nose reduced too. We felt some sort of relaxation. Throughout all these illness she was very active like usual. but unfortunately just after the next day of completion of full course of AB, her runny nose increased, she experienced sudden temperature shoot ups. She was not active anymore. She seemed very tired, may be because of fever. When we contacted the GP again, the same doctor prescribed another antibiotics (Augmentin). Today is the 3rd day on new AB. She is still continuing Nurofen 4 times a day otherwise the temperature shoots up to 39+. She seems very tired all the time. Her food has reduced to Zero, really Zero. We are not able to convince her. Her runny nose has reduced a lot but not stopped completely. Usually she is very chatty but now a days she is hardly speaks a word. I bought few new toys for her but she didn't even looked at them.
We are really very concerned about-
- Her food
- Repeated illness
- So tired. Is it because of AB? She was quite active during her first AB.
- Temperature shoot ups
Can anyone please suggest something?
Thanks
